M230: Could This Gun Be the U.S. Military's Ultimate Weapon?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * As the military considers ways to enhance the firepower of ground vehicles, the M230 is attracting attention again as a lightweight solution to add heavy firepower to a ground vehicle. But can it be easily adapted to the ground role? The M230 is probably one of the definitive weapons of the Global War on Terror. Mounted on the belly of Apache gunship helicopters, the M230 has provided critical fire support to U.S. troops in almost every theatre they’ve engaged in combat in. But now as the military considers ways to enhance the firepower of ground vehi... more »

For long, debates over Air Force spending have revolved around specific platforms and technologies. How many F-35s and B-21s should the Air Force procure?

The Brouhaha Over China’s Haifa Deal Highlights Israel’s “Deep State” Divisions
Whatever China’s intentions are – and they certainly don’t have anything to do with locking Israel into a “debt trap” or spying on its submarines – the controversy over this agreement nevertheless points to the fact that there are two geopolitically competing “deep state” factions in Israel. The post The Brouhaha Over China’s Haifa Deal Highlights Israel’s “Deep State” Divisions appeared first on OrientalReview.org.
Russia's MiG-25 Was Built to Kill an Air Force Supersonic Bomber That Never Happened

Sinking Feeling: Congress Is Giving the Navy 3 Warships It Doesn't Want
*Task and Purpose* *Security, Americas* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Why? Lawmakers are giving the U.S. Navy three more littoral combat ships than the service actually wants or needs, because of course they would. Although the Navy set a requirement of 32 LCS’, lawmakers offered up funding for three more while cutting funding for modules that would make the current ships more useful, such as an anti-submarine warfare package and a variable-depth sonar. As Defense News’ David Larter reports: *The annual cutting spree has created a baffling cycle of inanity wherein Congress, unhapp... more »
The Secret Formula for Becoming an Elite Athlete
The take home is that far too much is invested before the mid teens. I think that is somewhat correct, but i also think that we truly miss an important opportunity commencing with the onset of puberty and the closely associated growth spurt. That spurt can be nurtured and guided to produce an optimized body able then to jump start many other sports disciplines. It will also be easily sustainable throughout one's life and that is a huge benefit. After that bit of tweaking, it still boils down to having the right physical combination and the support as this story makes rather... more »

Photobiology: How Therapeutic Use of Full-Spectrum Light Can Improve Your Health
This has received zero coverage and it really needs to be properly debated and better understood.

Ultimately it is not a lot of space and that same space can be also used for some gym equipment as well. It can also be easily retrofitted onto the roof as well. This could easily become a prime selling point on new condo builds. Unlike pools and most spa oriented hardware, the upkeep can be minimal. *Photobiology: How The... more »
Why Women Need a Tribe
Of course, this does not bother to properly define tribe. That usually is meant to be a clan which can number in the thousands. In this case what is properly meant is the natural community of around 150 or so individuals in which the female collective can easily be identified as a sisterhood. They will all know each other. The sisterhood aspect actually not only deals with common tasks including childcare but also oversees the sexual life of the community as well which would otherwise be a source of unending strife. Our present distance from this natural community is a prima... more »

An honest question
'Gunmen have opened fire on an Iranian military parade in the south-western city of Ahvaz, killing several people, including civilians, and injuring at least 20, state media say.
